With the Iran flashpoint cooling and President Trump firmly reasserting command, the MAGA movement is pivoting hard back to its central mission: defending the American working class, protecting national sovereignty, and dismantling the globalist chokehold over U.S. policy.

According to Bannon and allies like Jim Rickards on Friday’s WarRoom, the brief Middle East detour was necessary, swift, and decisive—but now it’s back to business.

Rickards: "I’m Not Saying There Was No Danger, I’m Saying It Was Not Imminent

Resetting the Agenda
The strategic airstrike and rapid de-escalation in Iran served as a reminder of Trump’s core foreign policy principle: Peace through strength, not occupation. Despite pressure from neocons and corporate defense lobbies, Trump avoided entanglement while signaling American dominance. Bannon praised the action as "surgical,” noting it "obliterated bomb-making infrastructure,” and more importantly, "avoided regime change nonsense.”

But as Trump closes the book on Iran, he’s already turning attention back to MAGA’s top priorities: the economy, border control, and reclaiming manufacturing power.

Economic Nationalism Back in Focus
Trump’s team is renewing pressure on U.S. corporations to reshore production and abandon supply chains dependent on geopolitical hotspots. Expect a fresh wave of tariffs, investment in energy independence, and targeted incentives for domestic factories.

Jim Rickards emphasized that global turbulence is reinforcing MAGA’s economic thesis: self-sufficiency is strength. Europe’s NATO shift — agreeing to 5% GDP toward defense — was framed by Bannon as a vindication of Trump’s long-standing position: America should not foot the bill for freeloading allies.

The Border Crisis Re-Emerges
Now that military resources aren’t bogged down abroad, Bannon and other MAGA leaders are demanding renewed federal focus on border integrity. The recent deportation footage aired by "Law and Border” has energized the base. The message is clear: If we can strike Iran in 24 hours, we can shut down cartel pipelines at the southern border.

Bannon hinted that homeland security is the next battlefield — not just physically, but ideologically. "The enemy isn’t just across the ocean,” he said. "It’s the administrative state, NGOs, and open-border profiteers sabotaging our nation from within.”
